Install BOE on 64 bit OS

[Former Member]

I have windows server 2008 (64 bit), can I install Crystal Reports & BOE XI 3.1 on the server, will it work without any issue. Reason for asking this is, I installed Oracle 10g Client (32 bit) on the server and stated getting problems, it didn't create the Data Source drivers and also didn't allow me to install the ODAC.

Thanks

Hi

Business Objects Enterprise XI3.1 is supported on 64 bit Windows 2008. Same for CR

I checked the SP2 supported platforms document

Thanks for confirming, even I went through the system requirements document. Just wanted to confirm since I had problem with Orcale client.

Hi

Just ta add since BO is 32 bit also the Oracle driver needs to be 32 bit. However, you can install a 64 bit Java Application server if you like
